Good to see they are progressing with getting Iberia back on the right track....I'm sure it has a great future ahead of it.
Although there does seem to be a lot of white in it......which could make changing it into BA livery much easier.

Rather pleasing on the eye, and more restrained than I had expected.
Veering back towards BA, I happened to see one of the new 773s (G-STBG?) parked at T5B the other week. As it was positioned next to several older 772s and a 744 I couldn't help but notice the delicate livery update. Is the off white/cream background of old being gradually replaced by brilliant white?
I wish I had a photograph of these aircraft parked side by side - it would help illustrate my observation.

It seems like something similar to what happened to JL logo / livery evolution - the tsurumaru to 'arc of the sun' (absolutely hideous, imho) back to the tsurumaru.
This new livery is hideous, plain and simple. There's ABSOLUTELY NOTHING I like about it. If it depended on me, I wouldn't pay for this.

I thought the current livery was meant to be brilliant white. Is it possible the others were just dirty..?

Painting, and carting around heavy paint, is a significant cost factor over the life of the aircraft and refreshing the design can be both cost effective, as well as having the added opportunity to draw a line under the previous poor performance, and give customers and staff a tangible sense of renewal and a fresh start.
